Here is a video illustrating the opportunites that exist with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion technology. Deep water formation allows for temperature differentials of 40 degrees C off the coast of Puerto Rico. The video does a good job of explaining the propane closed loop OTEC plant. According to the narrator aÂ 40 of these floating 100 Megawatt OTEC platforms couldÂ provide all of Puerto Rico’s electrical needs.
